[QUOTE="Big Bucks, post: 1206960, member: 23333"] AllForage - this is my first experience with grass finishing. I am 51 years old and have owned, worked with and been around livestock (including beef cattle) my entire life so I have a good understanding of things like genetics and nutrition. I even raised captive whitetail deer for nearly 20 years, artificially breeding them for the last 11 to some of the biggest bucks on the planet. I have also AIed some of my beef cows in the past so I am not totally "green" regarding beef cattle production. Again, this is my first try at grass-finishing and I have a lot to learn but I did a lot of research before jumping in. The problem is that 10 different "experts" will have 10 different opinions. That is why I am here though; to hear those opinions and sort through them to find what works in my situation. I am sold on Aubracs as being the base breed of my cow herd but beyond that I am still feeling my way along. I would like to cross the Aubrac with a few other breeds to see what works best to build an efficient cow for a grass-fed operation. That is my current focus; I feel I need to build the ideal cow herd for a grass-fed operation first before moving to the next step of coming up with the best terminal cross for that cow herd. Thank you for all your input. What part of Wisconsin are you from? I am from Illinois and get to your state at least once a year, maybe I could visit your operation? [/QUOTE]
